Dear Mr. Ader:
Thank you for submitting your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to
the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) via email to
foia@nara.gov. We received your request on September 23, 2022. Your
request concerns All records mentioning Roy Oliver Disney (June 24, 1893 –
December 20, 1971) - the brother of famed Walt Disney and a co-founder of
The Walt Disney Company.
Our office handles FOIA and Privacy Act requests for NARA’s operational records
(records created by this agency). Because your FOIA request is for
records that may be archival records (records created by or originated in a
different agency but that may have been transferred to the legal custody of
NARA), we are forwarding it by this email to our Office of Research
Services, Textual Reference (RR2RR) staff who handle FOIA requests for
textual archival records.
That office will assign your request a tracking number and respond directly
to you. In the future, if you need to follow up with that office directly,
please contact them at the address below, or electronically via email
(email is preferred).

Dear J. Ader:
I am writing in response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request
of September 28, 2022 for records in the custody of the National Archives
and Records Administration. Your request was received in this office on
September 28, 2022 and assigned FOIA tracking number RD 68215.
You requested FBI case files related to Roy Disney. We conducted a search
of all available indexes transferred to the National Archives for Roy
Disney and were unable to identify any FBI case files responsive to your
request in our holdings.
Because we were unable to identify any case files pertinent to your subject
of interest, we are closing your request administratively. This concludes
the processing of your request.
If you have not done so already, you may wish to submit a FOIA request to
the FBI for a search of their indexes for files relating to your subject.

their website at:
https://www.fbi.gov/services/records-management/foipa/requesting-fbi-records

right to file an administrative appeal within ninety (90) calendar days
from the date of this letter. Appeals must be in writing and may be
delivered by regular U.S. mail or by email. By filing an appeal, you
preserve your rights under the Freedom of Information Act and present the
deciding agency with an opportunity to review your request and reconsider
its decision. If you submit your appeal by regular mail, it should be
addressed to the Deputy Archivist of the United States (ND), National
Archives and Records Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road, Room 4200, College
Park, Maryland 20740-6001. Both the letter and envelope should be clearly
marked “FOIA Appeal.” If you submit your appeal by email, please send it to
